Chapter 3: A Dream Or Is It Not?

Soi Fong was worried. It is already past midnight and Yoruichi is back yet. What kind of meeting goes on all the way till midnight? That huge outflow of reiatsu, are they really all hers? Something's definitely up. Keeping the food in the fridge, Soi Fong donned her jacket and flash stepped to the only place she could think of. Her old training ground.

Upon reaching, all she saw was a spent Yoruichi lying on the ground, motionless. Fearing the worst, she rushed forward and place two fingers at the base of her throat. Thank Kami-sama, there is a pulse. Yoruichi. What am I to do if you're dead… She gathered the unconscious Yoruichi in her arms and flash stepped back to their room. Ridding Yoruichi of her dirty clothes, she crawled into bed next to her lover.

--The next morning—

Yoruichi woke to the sight she loves to most, a sleeping Soi Fong. She turned in the embrace and kissed Soi Fong's right eyelid. Maybe it was a dream. What a ridiculous dream. They are telling me to marry Byakuya-yago. That guy may be the head of the Kuchiki clan, but to me, he will always be the hot headed brat that would never grow up. Besides, he love Hisana and I don't think Rukia would approve. Gah! it's just a dream. I should not read so much into it. Looking at the clock on the wall across the room she smirked. Well, well. Looks like I'm up first today. Might as well make breakfast for her. She was about to move out of the embrace when she felt Soi Fong's arms tightened.

"Don't. Don't go. Yoruichi, don't leave me alone. I need you" Soi Fong whimpered.

Is she still dreaming about what happened a hundred years ago?

"Shush… don't worry Soi, I'll always be here. This I promise you" she wound her arms around the captain and rocked her.

"NO!!! Yoruichi!! You said you would never leave me. What are you doing…le-leaving with him?! Kuchiki Byakuya of all people!"

Please don't tell me she is dreaming of me marrying that brat. Can two persons share a dream just by sleeping next to each other?!

"Soi? Soi? Soi, wake up. It's just a dream. It's just a dream. I'm still here" she shook Soi Fong lightly.

"Hnhg? Yoruichi! Thank the gods you're still here. I had this really horrible dream. You and Kuchiki taichou are getting married. You are all dolled up and happy and then you looked at me and said, 'I was only playing around with you. I was never serious. I was just waiting for Byakuya-yago to gather up enough courage to propose to me.' And you left! Right after saying that. You left with him and took those damn vows" Soi Fong was sobbing hysterically at this point in time.

"Hush. Hush. Everything is going to be alright. It is a bad dream. I would never leave you. much less for someone like Byakuya. He is still deeply in love with his dead wife. Even if he wasn't, I would never fall for him. My heart is a really small place and it only has space for one person. And that person is you. Actually, my heart wasn't mine since a hundred and ten years ago. Not long after you joined the ranks of my personal bodyguard, you have stolen my heart. It is because I'm so dense; it took me a while to figure it out and an even longer while to fix everything that I messed up between us. Now that we're together, not even the Central 46 could separate us. Wherever you are Soi, there I'll be."

"Yoruichi…"

"Now, now. Dry those tears. You wouldn't want to turn up at training looking like a wreck do you? Or maybe, you can skip training, troops' inspection and hang out with me. I can always skip those stupid meetings."

"I can't. There are a bunch of new recruits coming in today and they need me to go through those applying for a position as your personal bodyguard."

"And why would I need them when I've got you. I'm sure you can guard my body well enough" Yoruichi waggle her eyebrows suggestively at Soi Fong.

Soi Fong blushed.

"Maybe we can go through some guarding today. Like what you can do that will make me– "

Yoruichi was rudely cut off as Soi Fong slammed her hand over her mouth, blushing furiously.

"Yoruichi…if you keep this up, I'll give you something to complain about."

"And what would that be? Pray tell."

"No sex for a week" Soi Fong said with an air of finality.

"No sex for a week?!" Yoruichi was flabbergasted.

"Yeap"

"I bet you can't last that long."

"Try me."

"Okay okay. Fine. You win. Go wash up and change." Yoruichi sulked. She knew Soi Fong would be able to carry out the threat.

"Aww… it is really unbecoming of you to sulk. Gundanchou" taunt Soi Fong.

"Why you –"

Yoruichi's protests soon turned into moans as Soi Fong made use of the opening and slipped her tongue in.

"Be good and go for your meetings. I'll see you at lunch. No slacking while I'm gone" said Soi Fong as she walked out of the dining room to change.

She seems to be in a better mood. Honestly, threatening me with no sex. Only she can hold out that long. That dream had better not come back and haunt her. I really need to pay more attention to her to make reassure her that I'm not going anywhere. Not without her. I hope something different will happen today. Meetings, meetings and more meetings. Then it'll be paperwork and more paperwork. Why did I agree to be the head of clan?! If you're not, Soi will have to serve someone else you know. Right! Oh well. Anything for Soi.

With that thought in mind, Yoruichi got ready for another boring day. Little did she know that she did get her wish. Things were going to be different that day.

AN: It's been a while since I've written anything. Just something short. I hope the tenses are not too confusing. Mainly cause I have really bad grammar and it has been a long while since I have to write anything so kinda rusty on the technical side of the language. Hope you all enjoy this new chap. Remember to read and review yar? =)
